| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? So the 10db Rothwelll should get you to the similar volume levels of your tuner, more or less. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? If I knew about the Rothwells I might have kept the CAT pre/amp combo. Even though the pre and amp were "made for each other" I could not go much beyond 9-10:00 with digital sources, and with a stepped attenuators to boot!If George, Al, and Anthon... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? What he said:) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I don't think it has much to do with impedance. It is the input sensitivity of your amp, it gets to full power output too easily. For example, my amp I use with a passive only needs .8v to reach max. power output. My other amp that I use with an a... | |
| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? Agree with everything you said about John Rutan. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? It looks like the one on top on the Intact Audio site. I wonder why Dave would choose to use one over the other. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Anthony, it looks like the Slagle auto former with the Chapman board is the one being used, I take it that is a good thing. I assume the Bent TAP-x I owned with the Slagle a few years back was using exactly the same thing.Getting silence at "O" se... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Can you get to 9? or is that simply too loud at that point? I used 12-2 (at most). | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I've not looked inside the vented case (why vented?) - what should I look for to answer your question? What would the two look like to differentiate them? Is the auto former photo on Dave's site the Chapman OEM version? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I sold the LSA and just got the Emia a few days ago 9 can't imagine many have been sold yet) (currrently $1,250) because I felt the need for balance controls (room, ears, recordings). After sometime assessing the Emia, I will also be getting the L... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? What is your concern? You have very high gain speakers and very high sensitivity amp and are concerned that you cannot get the volume low, in fact to high for background music? What gear do you have that gives rise to you concern? With my 89db Mer... | |
| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? I'm not sure why, but it sometimes seems that some folks think that Vandersteens are not tube friendly, which is curious given how often they were shown with ARC in the early days -- and Richard owned Quicksilvers (still may). I wonder if it is so... | |
